## Dataset notes

Within each CCES module that contains racial resentment (RR) data, each RR item is rescaled to a 0-1 scale. This is important to do within modules because of variation in response options for RR items across modules. While most use the standard 5-point scale for response options, one module includes just a 4-point scale. Another module contains what looks like an experiment that varies response options, which together end up falling on a 6-point scale. The raw form of the module data is not easy to pool together and place on the same scale. `cces2016-rr-rescaled.csv` contains average RR indices that come from first rescaling RR data within modules (e.g. turning 1-4, 1-5, and 1-6 scales to 0-1) and then averaging after that.

The rescaled data here is the more useable version of another dataset that can be found at the [agadjanian/cces-2016-rr](https://github.com/agadjanian/cces-2016-rr) Github address. This Github repo contains all raw data files, codebooks, and a condensed raw data file for all 2016 CCES modules that include the RR battery.
